Desire and evil



Unenlightened Soul
Where does your absurd idea that desire leads to evil come from? Desire for a better life has been the prime mover of civilization.

The Gurus Respond:

Seeker
I said that desire leads to suffering, not evil.

Seeker
Well, actually, Buddha said it. But I was the one who said it here.

Seeker
As far as your second sentence, replace "a better life" with "material gain" and I'll agree with you. Otherwise, you need to calm yourself.
